Re: auto tab complete


That's what I was fishing for.
and the comment about sh and cmd not supporting it was exactly what I was wondering (I just didn't know it yet :) ).
"shell at home is bash with completion set up" - I guess my next question is what did you have to do to set it up besides just using the executable?

Tab completion is a facility of the shell running on the remote computer surely, nothing to do with ssh itself.

e.g. I ssh into my home PC from work and I get tab completion, because my
shell at home is bash with completion set up. This would also be the case
if I were to use telnet or rlogin to connet.

If it was sh or cmd.exe I wouldn't, regardless of whether I used ssh or
telnet or rlogin, because sh and cmd.exe don't support it.

Or am I misunderstanding the question?
